Study Notes
Water Chemistry Overview
- Water is a clear, colorless liquid composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).
- Covers over 70% of the Earth's surface and is essential for life.
- Exists in three phases: solid (ice, ≤ 0°C), liquid (0°C to 100°C), vapor (≥ 100°C).
- Boiling point: 100°C (212°F); Freezing point: 0°C (32°F).
Freshwater vs. Saltwater
- Freshwater: contains < 1% salt, found in lakes, streams, and glaciers; tasteless and odorless.
- Saltwater: contains ≥ 3% salt, primarily in oceans; unsuitable for human consumption; home to marine organisms like sharks and tuna.
Composition of Seawater
- Major components include Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2), and Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4).
- Sodium Chloride constitutes 79% of dissolved solids in seawater, with approximately 25,000 PPM concentration.
- Common ions in seawater: Chloride (55.03%), Sodium (30.59%), Sulfate (7.68%).
Marine Engine Cooling Water System
- Critical for ships to remove excess heat from engines and machinery.
- Cooling achieved by circulating liquid around engine passages, preventing overheating and preserving metal properties.
Quality Requirements for Cooling Water
- Best suited with demineralized (distilled) water; corrosion inhibitors necessary to prevent environmental corrosion.
- Rainwater and tap water generally not recommended due to contamination and chalk deposits.
- Sea water can cause severe corrosion and deposits, hence prohibited as cooling water.
Corrosion in Cooling Water Systems
- Corrosion: degradation of materials through chemical or electrochemical reactions.
- Common forms: general wastage, pitting, crevice, galvanic, stress, and erosion corrosion.
- Corrosion can form insulating scale, impairing heat transfer.
Zinc Presence and Corrosion Management
- Zinc galvanization used for protection against corrosion but may reverse polarity at high temperatures (60°C to 90°C), potentially increasing corrosion.
- Recommended to remove galvanized elements before adding corrosion inhibitors.
Chemicals for Cooling Water Treatment
- Sodium Nitrite (NaNO2): protects cast iron and steel, dosage 1000 to 3000 PPM.
- Sodium Benzoate (C8H5CO2Na): protective for steel and solder, dosage 10,000 to 15,000 PPM.
- Sodium Borate (Na2B4O7): offers alkalinity, buffers at pH 8.9, dosage 1000 to 3000 PPM.
Cleaning Cooling Water Systems
- Abnormal deposits necessitate thorough cleaning and refilling with freshly treated water.
- Cleaning involves degreasing and descaling using special chemicals; should be done by specialists following safety protocols.
